In coincidence with statements by a UN human rights expert on Israel's evident genocidal intent in Gaza, the ultra-right-wing Argentine president, Javier Milei, justified the Zionist regime's attacks.

"They do everything within the rules of the game," he insisted in reference to Tel Aviv.

Another view is held by a large part of the international community.

"When the genocidal intent is so conspicuous, so ostentatious, as it is in Gaza, we cannot look away, we must confront genocide," said Francesca Albanese.

The words of the UN expert are accompanied by horrifying statistics on more than 32,000 deaths in Gaza due to Israeli bombardments, although the Argentinean president seemed to ignore them.

In an interview granted to a US news network, the man who defines himself as a libertarian confirmed his favoritism for confrontation by also issuing bitter adjectives towards the presidents of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, and Colombia, Gustavo Petro.

The Mexican statesman quickly responded to the tenant of the Casa Rosada: "Milei said that I am ignorant because I called him a conservative facho. He is right: I still do not understand how Argentines, being so intelligent, voted for someone who is not accurate and despises the people".

López Obrador thus interpreted the policies of Milei, who brutally cut public expenditures, abolished ministries, fought with governors and despised the protests of unionized workers and other compatriots due to the deterioration of their standard of living.

It is neoliberalism, as defined by the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, also the target of Milei's outbursts in the interview with the U.S. news network.

Unstoppable, the Argentinean president called Petro a "terrorist murderer", a surprising phrase in the mouth of a person with his position, from whom moderation in the controversy is expected.

The Colombian Foreign Ministry strongly condemned Milei's remarks and confirmed the decision to expel Argentine diplomats accredited to the embassy in Bogota.

The Colombian dignitary, without remaining silent, opted for serenity and said that in spite of the libertarian's insults, Latin American unity must be preserved.  

It is a process that Milei distances himself from, as he does from the needs of his people, while he applauds his friends in Israel because today they have the Gazans on the verge of starvation.
